Applications of PSCAD and Transient Studies

This course covers the fundamentals of the study of electromagnetic transients in electrical networks. A number of application areas such as AC transients, fault and protection, transformer saturation, wind power, FACTS, power quality, as well as other power systems topics will be discussed with practical examples to illustrate the subjects.

Course participants will be able to experiment with the case studies in an interactive hands-on workshop environment using PSCAD Simulation software. Attendees can request coverage of specific topics of interest.

Duration: 3 Days

Who should attend?

This course is intended for practicing engineers, graduate students, and researchers in power systems and power electronics, who are interested in developing an in depth understanding of the modern tools available for the analysis of transient events in the network. The course is intended for existing PSCAD users as well as introductory users.
